OK, civilisation!!

Ordered a Dominos Pizza, 40 mins before it arrives at the hotel. Bliss.

Went swimming beforehand, just to ease the guilt of wolfing down a pizza.

Staying in the Pacific Palasades, see http://www.pacificpalisadeshotel.com/

It’s OK but not nearly as fancy as the web page makes it seem. OK, it is probably the second most fancy hotel I’ve stayed in but the hotel we stayed in last week, the Sandman Suites, is much cheaper and just about as good. If you need a hotel that is flexible enough to cope with washing clothes, eating in and so on (Kids/Babies/Groups) then go for the Sandman Suites — http://www.sandmanhotels.com/hotels/bc/vancouver.asp.
